Forefathers' Eve is a secondary quest in Velen. It starts after A Towerful of Mice, when the pellar asks Geralt for a favor. The pellar plans to hold Forefathers' Eve, an old peasant rite. During the rite, lost spirits are summoned and their deeds are judged. The ritual takes place at midnight on Fyke Isle, and Geralt agrees to guard it.

Choices
The pellar summons the ghost of his father, Ambros. Witch hunters then arrive and call the rite necromancy. Geralt must choose a side.
If Geralt defends the pellar, he fights the witch hunters. Their blood stains the sacred ground and draws wraiths to the circle. The pellar then asks Geralt to burn his father's body, so the ghost cannot return. The pellar becomes a merchant at the end.
If Geralt stays out of the fight, the witch hunters break up the ritual. The quest ends there, and the pellar parts from Geralt in anger.
